Enjoy!

Snowtulip, this is a LOVELY picture! Would that the mountain biking trips DH has dragged me along on were so delightful! (and I could really enjoy Sundial's dappled trails!)

Sundial -- see that nifty narrow trail? up the rock count, and rotate that picture about 25 degrees clockwise, then dry out all the vegetation and add thorns. Then you'll have the stuff DH thinks I should like to ride on. Oh, and make it go downhill, as well as narrow ledge on the side of a steep mountain!

And thus, my enjoyment of the "I came, I saw, I Hate" topic line that shows on my screen when I see this thread on the main forum page!
